10668954 · 2020-06-02 ·

A cab and hood suspension system includes a cab suspension system, a hood suspension system, and a hood tilt system. The cab suspension system includes supporting spring elements and cab linkage configured to control movement of a cab relative to a chassis. The hood suspension system includes hood linkage configured to locate the hood relative to the chassis. The hood linkage is configured to match the movement of the cab linkage. The hood tilt system is provided by the hood linkage of the hood suspension system.

Vehicle cab tilt apparatus

A vehicle is disclosed which includes a frame with a viscous isolator, a first pin receptor, a retainer, a cab, and a pin. The first pin receptor includes a base portion mounted to the viscous isolator and a top portion movable within a limited range relative to the frame. The retainer is detachably mounted to the frame such that the top portion of the first pin receptor protruding through an aperture in the retainer, and the base portion of the first pin receptor is below the aperture. A pin is received by the top portion of the first pin receptor and a second pin receptor included in a cab, rendering the cab tiltable relative to the frame about the pin. The aperture of the retainer and the base portion of the first pin receptor are each configured such that the base portion cannot pass through the aperture.

Cabin assembly

A vehicle includes a frame, tractive assemblies engaging the frame, a cabin configured to contain at least one operator during operation of the vehicle, and a mount configured to pivotably couple the cabin to the frame. The mount includes a boss coupled to the cabin and defining a first aperture, a first bracket defining a second aperture, a pin extending through the first and second apertures, a second bracket coupled to the frame, and a pair of isolators extending between the first bracket and the second bracket. The isolators are configured to couple the first bracket to the second bracket and to reduce the transfer of vibrations between the frame and the cabin. The cabin is configured to rotate between use position and maintenance positions. The cabin is positioned near the frame in the use position and rotated away from the frame in the maintenance position.

ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM FOR A TILTABLE TRUCK CAB, AND RELATED DEVICES, COMPONENTS, AND METHODS
20200086865 · 2020-03-19 ·

An anti-collision system includes a truck cab defining a truck cab volume and a sensor positioned with respect to the truck cab. The truck cab is rotatable with respect to the truck chassis along a rotation path to define a truck cab rotation volume. The truck cab volume is entirely within the truck cab rotation volume along the entire rotation path, i.e., the truck cab rotation volume encompasses the truck cab volume at every position of the truck cab volume along the rotation path. The sensor has a field of view (FOV) that overlaps a portion of the truck cab rotation volume to detect an obstruction in the FOV that is within the truck cab rotation volume. The sensor may also cause the system to provide an alert or control rotation of the truck cab in response to detecting the obstruction.

Assist mechanism for moving cab on power machine

A power machine having a frame and a cab pivotally attached to the frame at a first cab pivot, such that the cab pivots about a first transverse axis from an operational position to a service position, includes a link mechanism and a first spring. The link mechanism includes a first link having a first link end, a second link end, and a first pivot engagement feature pivotally coupling the first link to the frame and to the cab such that the first link is pivotal about the first transverse axis. The second link end is configured to interface with the cab at a position forward of and below the first cab pivot and first pivot engagement feature when the cab is in the operational position.

WORK MACHINE

A work machine includes a cabin, a machine room, a hydraulic oil tank, a partition wall, and a cover member. The machine room accommodates a drive apparatus to move the work machine. The hydraulic oil tank is provided in the machine room and has an oil gauge. The partition wall separates the cabin from the machine room and has an opening through which the oil gauge is viewable from the cabin. The cover member seals a gap between the partition wall and the oil gauge.

Vehicle frame for a tracked vehicle

The present invention relates to a tracked amphibious vehicle having a vehicle frame and a pair of track assemblies attachable to a respective side of said vehicle frame, said vehicle frame being arranged to support a tilting vehicle cab and an engine configuration, said vehicle frame comprising a pair of separated longitudinal wall elements extending in the longitudinal direction of the tracked vehicle and a bottom element connecting said pair of longitudinal wall elements so as to form a space for supporting and housing said engine configuration, wherein said vehicle frame comprises an extension frame and has a lateral extension so that no portion of the vehicle frame extends laterally passed a respective track of said pair of track assemblies so as to allow easy access to said space.
